PREZ TRUMP PROMISES VENGEANCE AS KANSAS CITY HARLEY-DAVIDSON JOBS SHIPPED TO THAILAND!!! WILL MEAN TWEETS DISTRACT WORKERS AMID PARADOXICAL LOW-WAGE JOB BOOM?!?
Tonight, voters are confronted with a complex bit of theatrics from politicos and corporate rulers.
As always, our AWESOME TKC BLOG COMMUNITY is here to help translate . . .
First, the fun stuff as Prez Trump rallies the masses against a company ditching the USA for cheaper labor . . .
Politico: Trump on Harley-Davidson move - 'We won't forget'
USA: Trump threatens to turn Harley-Davidson into roadkill
Independent UK: Donald Trump says 'we won't forget' and company should 'stay 100% in America' -- “I’ve done so much for you, and then this” President Trump tweets at Harley-Davidson over their decision to move some production overseas
However . . .
While President Trump can take credit for low unemployment . . .
A CLOSER LOOK AT AMERICAN JOB NUMBERS REVEAL FUNDAMENTAL WEAKNESS!!!
If there's only one important takeaway from tonight's news collection, this not-so-fun fact is the most important:
Chron: Weak pay growth puzzles Fed chief, just like everyone else
And then, drilling down even further we find workers on the low end of the financial spectrum struggling without much change no matter which party holds power.
Checkit:
Boing Boing: Amid wage stagnation, corporate leaders declare the end of annual raises triggered by increased profitability
Economist: If wages are to rise, workers need more bargaining power
STL Post-Dispatch: Supreme Court deals big setback to labor unions
Big Think: A minimum-wage job can’t pay the rent anywhere in U.S.
Bloomberg: Jobs Are Booming. Are Wages Next? Unemployment rate at a low, but still-sluggish growth in labor participation and pay.
Accordingly . . .
Whilst the masses unabashedly love Prez Trump and his mean tweets . . . Does political slap-fighting amid the upcoming midterms threaten to overshadow ongoing harsh times for the working-class and the worsening economic divide that continues to expand no matter which party holds power???
You decide . . .
This wage gap, disparity or unfairness you speak of.
ReplyDeleteIt's as old as time itself. It's the fundamental dilemma confronting every society that must inevitably deal with the problem of the haves vs. the have nots. The United States has let hope and freedom supplant the demands and demands of the lower caste with dreams and promises of opportunity. It only gets dangerous when people realize that dreams feed them.
Fuck Harley. Trump should forget about them, They will be in bankruptcy within 5 years. We have more important issues.
ReplyDeletehilst the masses unabashedly love Prez Trump and his mean tweets . . ."
ReplyDeleteBullshit!
More than half of the country is tired of this childish shit.
^^^ Good point. But he does still have those rallies where thousands upon thousands of people turn out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't be so quick to discount half the country. Which you do amdit.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats are "Pro-Choice" when it comes to murdering babies
But "Anti-Choice" when coughing up a chunk of your wages to Democrat greedy union slob honchos.
When Mueller recommends impeachment, a lot of you Republican pussies will be running home to mama.
ReplyDeleteMueller's wandering, manifestly corrupt witch hunt? The only person talking about impeachment is crazy Maxine. ;)
Delete8:49 More than half of this country is tired of your childish crap, and as far as half of the country being tired of Trump and his tweets, are you speaking of me?? If so you're dead wrong!
ReplyDelete^^I'm tired of all you Republican pussies.
ReplyDeleteYou old men need to get the fuck out of the way.
There's a blue wave coming ....
In your dreams. That whole bullshit narrative has evaporated.
DeleteThe only blue wave coming you'll see is when Tidy Bowl sloshes your smelly shit down the toilet!

ReplyDeletelow wages due to dummocraps bringing in millions of illegals..willing to work for crap $$
Stand back and watch the far left Democrats piss off the traditional Democrats. We are not for open boarders and non citizens voting. The Republicans are laughing at us. The young get crazy and violent make mature Democrats cringe.
ReplyDeleteIllegals can't work in Union Shops, @ 9:08, so you are wrong completely, at least until the GOP completes the job of destroying all Unions in the USA that they started this year.
ReplyDeleteNon-citizens are not voting.
ReplyDeleteThat has never happened.
That's a Republican Lie.
It'sIs what you were taught in special ed?
DeleteDonald Trump is destroying America, & Western Civilization.
ReplyDeleteHe's an odious man with no redeeming qualities.
He's a draft dodging coward who talks tough & raunches on the flag to the cheers of his idiot followers.
The full effects of his stupid trade war have yet to be felt, but pain is coming. Harley was just the first to leave (Remember when he said he would stop companies from doing that?)
Mueller Ain't Going Away, but this moron will be leaving the White House, soon.
Oh dear. You still believe the propaganda. Sorry. Duly elected President stays despite the bullying of the wacko left. ;)
Deletecoming from the people who praise Alex jones...

CHUCK Schumer,Clair And Emmanuel ,Barry From the Corrupt Obama administration Is Raising Money for Clair ,And Deep State Hillary ,Clair Praised her many times .NO Impeachment There will be a Red Wave .
ReplyDeleteAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez
ReplyDeleteLearn this name, Trumptards. This is the future of America. The Era of the Old White Man is ending. The Traitor in the White House is your last hurrah.
Look at the demographics, or not, because it will make you cry.
People like Retro won't know what happened because Fox is lying.
Yeah no. Not when Hispanics voted Trump like they did last election. Poof! Another narrative gone.
DeleteAs for Junior Commie Cinderella, try pitching an open Marxist to mainstream America in a general election. Go ahead. Look at Pelosi backpedaling like crazy away from the whole thing.
Anyway, the far left failed. You are in freefall, your party has no effective leaders and no issues but an unhinged hate of Trump.
Safespace! Quickly!
I don't Watch Fox I watch The Hearing Live,County Congress is about Expose The Obama administration corruption. July 2018,BE ready I have reliable sources.
ReplyDeleteI ain't buying no hog made in India! I don't want to open a hatch and see a cobra.
ReplyDeleteIf we're going to really work on raising wages and making opportunity more accessible for all Americans, we need to move beyond thinking with these partisan blinders on. More and more I see Americans voting against party and for the best PERSON for the job. Somebody with the right qualification, track record and ideas. I wish we could talk more about specific policies than all of this bravado that's about winning elections and not governing.
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy from circa Nov 9th 2016 but the reality is where is the truth, and what is the truth? Aug 1st will be the telltale sign of where we as a country stand. The month of July will be the moment of clarity that I and you and that all of of us have been seeking since we first opened The Peoples Almanac for the first time as kids. We have done nothing but search for the truth no matter the source, and yet we are within mere days of reconciling the facts that have haunted us since we first learned the word “why”. America and the world are on the precipice of untold freedom of the mind and freedom of the soul. A New World Order based on Peace and Prosperity awaits us. The Evil that we are accustomed too is in retreat. It’s crazy when you think about it, first North Korea, now Iran will see regime change and it is coming sooner than later, EU will collapse within a year. Good vs Evil is the war being waged right now. When the President declassifies everything the alphabet soup is trying to withhold from us, We the People, the only understanding possible is that we are one and the same, we have all been lied to all of our lives. I have so many questions to ask of anyone who will listen, but I have spent my whole life seeking that which has eluded me.I hope in the next month that your questions as well as mine get answered somewhat truthfully.
DeleteGod Bless

^^Jesus Christ, dummy. Donald Trump is President. Where the hell have you been? Issues? It's not about issues, it's a personality cult.
ReplyDeleteRetro is deluded.
ReplyDelete"Reliable sources" = secret knowledge = whack job conspiracy theories.
Religion is for simpletons.
ReplyDeleteGo away.
@ 2:01, you won't be offended if we remind you of what you posted today in August, will you?
ReplyDeleteCadet Bonespur hasn't told the truth since he learned how to talk.
ReplyDeleteHee hee. Progressive butthurt brings me joy. 4.5% economic growth, snowflake. :)
Delete^^Tell that to the Harley employees or the Sprint employees or the Carrier employees.
ReplyDeleteThat "economic growth" will not benefit 99% of the population.
I hear the Donald isn't feeling loved, probably time for another rally. The guy is a Fascist fuck and so many people eat that shit up.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to hear a well reasoned argument against trump. I'm not his supporter but his detractors have no argument beyond name calling.
